The advent of the two-dimensional (2D) family of halide perovskites and their demonstration in 2D/three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical film structures broke new ground toward high device performance and good stability. The 2D Dion–Jacobson (DJ) phase halide perovskites are especially attractive in solar cells because of their superior charge transport properties. Here, we report on 2D DJ phase perovskites using a 3-(aminomethyl)piperidinium (3AMP) organic spacer for the fabrication of mixed Pb/Sn-based perovskites, exhibiting a narrow bandgap of 1.27 eV and a long carrier lifetime of 657.7 ns. Consequently, solar cells employing mixed 2D DJ 3AMP-based and 3D MA₀.₅FA₀.₅Pb₀.₅Sn₀.₅I₃ (MA = methylammonium, FA = formamidinium) perovskite composites as light absorbers achieve enhanced efficiency and stability, giving a power conversion efficiency of 20.09% with a high open-circuit voltage of 0.88 V, a fill factor of 79.74%, and a short-circuit current density of 28.63 mA cm–². The results provide an effective strategy to improve the performance of single-junction narrow-bandgap solar cells and, potentially, to give a highly efficient alternative to bottom solar cells in tandem devices.
